English Summary/英文概要: History is littered with amazing mistakes - from the fatal flight of Icarus to the famous meeting of HMS Titanic and an iceberg, many incredible events have been shaped by a simple mistake.
Of course it would be a huge mistake to claim that Most Amazing Mistakes is The definitive book on blunders. But there are examples of all sorts of them - some funny, others tragic; famous ones, trivial ones; no matter, they all share a common thread. They were events never meant to happen, beliefs that we now know are completely unfounded or wrong, words never meant to have been said(or heard), or perhaps spoken but wrongly attributed. They are all amazing and fascinating mistakes.

English Summary/英文概要: An English woman of thirty-two has her few possessions packed, ready for release from a Federal prison in Loon Lake, up-state New York. · Her father aged sixty-eight stands peeing on small molluscs on a Cornish beach. · His wife of sixty-four is butchering mackerel in the darkened kitchen of a lime-washed cottage nearby. · Their daughter aged twenty-three is hovering on the set of an advertising shoot in a studio south-west of London. · The brother, twenty-eight, unlocks a rented Chevrolet on an Alamo lot in Buffalo Niagara, New York. These are the Judds, formerly of London N1, now scattered but about to be thrown together again by the shockwaves from eldest child Ju-Ju’s release from prison on the day that The Promise of Happiness opens. This is a family shattered by Juliet (Ju-Ju)’s conviction and imprisonment for art theft (fencing a Tiffany window to be precise). Each member has felt its effects for their own separate, sometimes secret, reasons. For Charles, the father, it is a challenge to his sense of order and rightness of conduct and further proof of the disintegration of society. For wife Daphne, a source of resentment, an invalidation of her self-sacrifice as a mother. Brother Charlie and sister Sophie seem worried less at the morality of the theft than the dissolution of the immutable certainties and hierarchies of the family. For Ju-Ju, of course, the effects have been physical, and obvious. She is bitter and wounded at being the scapegoat for what was a victimless, even minor, offence. And whether or not she was technically or ethically culpable, feels bitter about her guilt for what her conviction has done to the family. Such is the selfishness of families and family love, the innate sense that the family owes something immutable to its members… In The Promise of Happiness Booker-shortlisted Justin Cartwright tells the stories and secrets of the Judds which are, as in all families, interwoven yet at the same time discrete. He shows us them as they come together again, in apprehension as much as celebration, for Charlie’s wedding and the prodigal Ju-Ju’s return. It is a tour de force elegy to the idiocies and intimacies of family life and family love. Funny, moving, and profoundly shocking; it is his most ambitious, and most powerful, novel yet.
